ZombieRunner Coffee is a coffee business providing great service and exceptional products to local communities. It was founded in 2003 as an online running store, selling gear for trail and ultra runners. In 2008, ZombieRunner opened on California Avenue in Palo Alto, in an old movie theater building. It was a combination of running shoe store and coffee shop, leading to an almost cult following for the hidden cafe inside the running store. The ecommerce site was also a component of the business, until several years later when the focus turned to the increasing coffee business.

In 2019, the owners made the decision to end the running store and go all in on coffee. 2020 saw the move on California Avenue to a location better suited to a coffee business. In October 2024, ZombieRunner Coffee opened in the Barron Park neighborhood of Palo Alto.
